Since so many seem to think the Pure Storm Ltd. Gt lacks some power, especially in the upper hoop, I'm thinking of a couple of options:
1) Going with the K Blade Tour--which has almost as thin a beam (20 mm. vs 19) which I love, the same control level (18 X 20 string pattern) and about the same overall static weight (about or around 11.8 oz.). It appears the K Blade Tour has a slightly higher swing weight but not by a whole lot. Also, it rates solidly higher in the power category on TW's Power Map. Both rackets are around 8-9 points HL as well.
2) Putting some lead at 10 and 2 on the Pure Storm Ltd. I don't want to add too much weight to this stick, just enough to up the power a little bit. And, I guess I'd have to put a little into the handle as well to keep the balance right.
Without putting too much lead on, could someone give me suggestions as to how much lead to put on the Pure Storm Ltd? to still keep the swingweight under 327 or so? Also, is 10 and 2 the best place to put it? Finally, which options of the two above makes most sense?? I really do love the feel of the PS Gt Ltd. but realize it might be a tad underpowered for me against heavy hitters and given that I'm in my mid-40's now.
